More Leopard

Once I put in some deep background, the next and most important step is the leopard's eyes. To stick with that "in your face" leopard, the eyes had to be looking right at you.

An interesting thing about eyes and painting. If you paint eyes looking directly out at the viewer, they will seem to follow you no matter which angle you view the painting. That is what I wanted for the leopard. He wouldn't be taking his eyes off you. And, you should be worried.
